Ubiquiti gear is great, but does not use open source software like OpenWrt Two. And I think most modern Ubiquiti routers are not supported by OpenWrt.


Quite a few Ubiquiti APs can be reflashed with OpenWRT.


I don’t see how ubiquiti not being open source is relevant here, as the original question was

> Can you recommend Western companies that would be able to produce similar hardware at the same price point?

Besides, I’m yet to see any open source routing software that’s half usable as a complete package. With the sole exception of VyOS, it’s all hot garbage, OpenWRT and pfSense included.


Ok, you may be in the wrong thread. This is a product for people who consider OpenWRT support to be a positive selling point. The OpenWRT One and OpenWRT Two are not products aimed at people who consider OpenWRT to be "hot garbage". They're not trying to produce generically good router hardware; they're trying to produce good router hardware for use with OpenWRT.

When somebody in this context is asking for similar hardware, it's reasonable to assume that OpenWRT support would still be considered important, or at least worth mentioning.


Oh that's surprising! Why do you consider VyOS to be less "hot garbage" than the others? That's a hell of a take!
